Summer or autumn, pandemic or peace times, the one skincare item that you should always have in your beauty routine is suncare.

If like me, you love hanging out on a sunny balcony, a bright spot at an outdoor cafe, or stepping out for a bike ride to unwind, never forget to slather on the sunscreen to slow down skin ageing.

Here are my favourite sunscreens that I reach out for on a daily basis.

They all have a few things in common:

• Non-sticky finish
• Feel lightweight on skin
• Have high broad spectrum protection
• Contain added skincare benefits (moisturising agents, anti-pollution ingredients, etc.
• Multi-purpose (provide skin-perfecting illusion)
• Work brilliantly as a make-up primer (just layer under foundation)
